Chem De La Chem: Why Colorado Tokers Really like This Strain

When you attain a particular level of standard cannabis consumption, your tolerance does not generally enable your physique to react to strains as sensitively as significantly less frequent customers could. So a hit of Super Lemon Haze will not make my thoughts race like it after did, nor does a little bowl of Banana Kush knock me out with the exact same efficiency. I can nevertheless practical experience the intended effects from distinct strains, even though I commonly have to consume additional.

But any small bite of Chemdog will shoot up my spine and zap my brain no matter how large my tolerance and ego get. What ever it is about Chemdog and the loved ones of chemical-smelling, brain-dicking strains that it has made more than the years, my thoughts confident cannot manage them.

Such an unproductive bliss is not as welcome as it after was now that I have additional large-boy responsibilities, but it is undoubtedly exciting for a evening or a solo Saturday morning complete of cartoons. So when I came across Chem De La Chem, I ready myself for a session with the head of the class — the Chem of the crop, if you will — and the strain’s forest-inspired funk, gasoline influence and halfwit higher didn’t disappoint. Sessions with Chem De La Chem regularly made a quick-lived power with a extended-lasting euphoria, leaving me incapable of providing a shit about answering emails and texts or taking the trash to the curb. Such a getaway from life can be detrimental if taken all the time, but each and every after in a even though, it enables beneficial self-assistance retreats at house more than the weekend.

Chem De La Chem hasn’t risen to the leading of Denver’s pot hierarchy but, but a lineage of Chemdog, a northeastern classic, and I-95, a strain named following the East Coast’s primary interstate highway, points to roots at the far finish of the nation. We’ve noticed the strain about town at the Providing Tree of Denver, Fantastic Chemistry, Type Really like, Lightshade and Seed &amp Smith, with wholesale flower additional distributed by Willie’s Reserve, and concentrate created by Green Dot Labs. My favorites so far have come from Type Really like and Green Dot, each of which could as effectively have had gas fumes increasing from their bottles.

Smell: Like twisting a lime more than an old carpet in a forest cabin and shoving your nose in it. Chem De La Chem is a terrific balance of Chemdog and OG qualities, with dank, earthy whiffs of sandalwood and pine leaves layered with funky, sour notes of rubber and gas.

Flavor: Count on a additional piney, floral taste than the regular gasoline flavor of Chemdog, but the classic chemical taste undoubtedly tends to make an look. These earthy, fuel-like flavors are covered in subtle, spicy notes of wood.

Effects: The highly effective, disorienting head higher also leaks into the physique, calming anxious limbs and, in my case, relaxing the stomach to the point of insatiability. I do not advocate any significant social interactions or complicated chores following a session, but Chem De La Chem is a prime candidate for anybody looking for relaxation or anxiety relief.

Property grower’s take: “That Triangle Kush influence in I-95 is most likely behind that musty OG scent, but Chem De La Chem smells like straight fuel in the develop. Took about eight or nine weeks to reduce down after it began blooming, I consider, but I did have to develop this a single from seed. Not confident if it is readily available in clones out there, but it is worth a attempt if you locate it. These Chem-y flavors and the pleased head higher are worth the time I do not care what the yield is.”
